I find it laughable that @alaskaairlines.bsky.social wants to offer me $20 to bump me off an over booked flight so they can profit but when all of my flights last week were absurdly delayed they literally did nothing to accommodate.

In job interviews and college admissions, we focus too much on what candidates have accomplished, and too little on what obstacles they've overcome.

I wonder if companies like @unitedairlinesual.bsky.social hit up their C-Suite and BOD for donations as aggressively as they hit up their customers?

The US is no doubt a powerful country globally speaking. What we aren’t anymore is as influential as we once were. That’s a problem.

My 17 yr old daughter said to me ‘I don’t want an expensive wedding. I’d rather be able to own a home.’
Proud moment but also humbling to hear how this generation is feeling about the challenges they know are coming financially.

The math that airlines use to determine if we are landing/taking off on time is something I’m not familiar with.

Love this take by Ed Elson. $1MM question is, how can we support/leverage human brands to counter weight the disproportionate amount of power brands have?

Not sure what all the hubbub is about. I’ve been drinking raw milk since 1980….. and guess what, humans were drinking it for 100’s of years before that.

Can we just retire the word ‘obsessed’ in 2025? It’s so over played and frankly stupid. To exclaim you’re obsessed over pumpkin spice lattes speaks volumes. Like 800 decibels of ridiculous type of volume.
